Magento Enterprise Edition 1.13.1.0

Building on the performance and scalability improvements released earlier this year, Magento Enterprise Edition 1.13.1.0 advances overall product quality and eases operations by providing significant tax calculation updates, a wide range of functional improvements, and several security enhancements.

Tax Calculation ImprovementsWe made many tax improvements for shopper-facing pages in Magento Enterprise Edition 1.13.0.0/2. In this latest release, we’ve resolved similar Value Added Tax (VAT) and Fixed Product Tax (FPT) issues for the Magento admin, invoices, and credit memos so that you have access to more accurate and consistent tax calculations and displays. We’ve also addressed:

VAT tax calculation issues for cross-border trade

Tax rounding issues when multiple taxes are applied

VAT and FPT calculation issues for bundled products

Support for the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (W.E.E.E.) recycling tax in the EU

Functional ImprovementsMagento Enterprise Edition 1.13.1.0 also includes functional improvements across important feature areas, including the shopping cart, checkout, content management system, and product import and export. Many of these updates come from Magento community developers. We truly appreciate their active support in advancing our solution. You can see which developers contributed fixes in the product release notes. These improvements will also be available in the upcoming Magento Community Edition 1.8.1.0 release, which is expected in December.

Security EnhancementsMagento is committed to following a rigorous process to identify and resolve potential security issues so that you can feel more confident that your store is protected. Our team does comprehensive internal testing, has expert consultants conduct quarterly penetration testing, and actively works with the Magento community to help us identify weaknesses. Magento Enterprise Edition 1.13.1.0 addresses several important issues identified through this process and helps to further harden the platform against potential threats. More information on these security updates and the community members who helped us find them is available in the release notes.

Updated Magento Secure Payment BridgeYou may have missed the recent news that an updated version of Magento Secure Payment Bridge is now available for Magento Enterprise Edition 1.13.x releases. It has successfully completed PA-DSS certification and includes several feature improvements. We encourage everyone using Magento Enterprise Edition 1.13.x to upgrade to this latest version.

Get StartedWith its combination of performance, scalability, product quality, and security, Magento Enterprise Edition 1.13.1.0 is the perfect solution if you are using an earlier version of Magento or if you are new-to-Magento and looking for a flexible, enterprise-class ecommerce solution for fast-growing and large businesses.
